I have no idea where you folks have gotten the idea that asking how to get Javascript to interact with PHP would be particularly off-topic here. Were it the vile transgression this thread has made it out to be, we probably wouldn't have included the answer in the FAQ. That's not the problem, that is on topic. The problem is asking how to get the resolution from JS. Find that out first, then ask how to get that value into PHP here.

It wouldn't be all that off-topic on a Javascript list either, but you'd still have a bunch of guys jumping up and yelling 'Ask on a PHP list, you loser', without actually providing any useful information. At worst, give a simple link or direction to a more appropriate resource. If you did what I said above, what you posted on either list wouldn't be OT.

Courtesty does go a long way. You can as easily direct a guy to the appropriate resource without strutting up and down like some unsolicited mailing list Rent-A-Cop. Then don't act like an unsolicited mailing list OTer.

This list is about helping people learn to use PHP. Please use it as such. That's exactly what I'm asking you to do.
